JBL Bar 1000 - you need to recharge back speakers more often than your phone ?

I just received the JBL Bar 1000 and the sound is good, the Atmos effect is a bit weak, but maybe I need to play around with the settings.

What I'm not ok with is that I need to Plug/Unplug the back speakers every night, because **you can't use them unplugged**? Please tell me I missed something or this is a bug and they will fix it with a future update.

I can't charge 2 big speakers maybe twice a day if I want to enjoy these speakers....

My plan was simple, no wires from the PC to the SUB and Back speakers - done, the back speakers are wireless, I will just use them plugged in, so they never ran out of juice.....

Turns out charging the speakers has a few unforeseen effects:

  1. They no longer give you sound....
  2. You can no longer use Chromecast audio to cast to them.
  3. Heck even Bluetooth connection no longer works....

JBL tell me I'm wrong and I missed something!

(U3) Bluetooth profiles revealed

Is the list of commands included in each Bluetooth profile public?

Or can we start a list? I would love to contribute, but I'm not that familiar with public list security.

I had a talk with support and they told me that most of the Android/Google TV profiles are interchangeable, but I did not get any reply when I asked if I could get a list of commands.

Just to give you an idea why this might be very useful, I just found out by trial and error that Shield has more available commands than Chromecast, like the color buttons for example.

I can add them one by one and pair 20 different Bluetooth profiles to my Chromecast, but they if they add new commands like the did on my request to Netflix and Disney (which by the way do not work even though I send them the com. codes that work on both my devices from HA) then you need to re-add the profile, IR codes are linked to that profile and there is no way to copy them so you need to re-learn them...

I feel this could be much easier if we could export and edit the profiles...

Google TV - YouTube playlist keep stopping

I believe this is a greedy bug. Let me explain.

I pay for Youtube premium, but from time to time I notice that videos just stop at certain times, I have a feeling that when adds should pop up in a non payed account, the video pauses, then it realises it's a payed account, does not show me the add, but the video remains paused.

I noticed on Chromecast With Google TV because that is where I listen to music Playlists. It also happens for individual videos, but it's not as noticeable.

Has anyone else ran into this?

Sound Blaster X4 5.1- Turns off certain channels

My Soundblaster X4 is connected to a set of Logitech X-530 5.1 speakers (that Soundblaster Omni Surround used to handle with no issues)

Every time I use my PC for the first time after a long time of non use, one of the channels is set to the lowest volume, so low that initially I thought it was off, but you can hear it if you run the 5.1 test. If the cable was USB-C to USB-C the Center channel was off, which killed any voices if I watched Netflix for example. If I use USB A to USB-C, left channel had this issue...

Is this an RMA issue? I tried the following and nothing worked:

- I used different cables, A to C, C to C, I always got the same result as above.

- I tried uninstalling the Creative app as I've read that it can sometimes fight with Windows 11 drivers... nope, same result.

Can anyone help me debug this issue?

Ikea Why? How

This is a light Set of 4 Ikea identical lights, connected using Dirigera to the remote.

It is not an automation, it's just bugged. I thought my wife did something to cause it until it happened to me.

Why is this happening, and why restarting the lights fixes it?

Multi zone presence sensor

Hi,

I'm done with my Aqara FP2, when it works is fast and responsive, but every night my lights remain on because it's seeing ghosts. Every night I need to recalibrate it, the most expensive presence sensor I ever bought has a know bug that the whole community knows about and Aqara does not give a crap.

Can you guys give me some ideas of reliable multi zone presence sensors that I could use? It has to work with HA.

I for context I have an office room with my PC, and I want one thing to happen when I enter the room, a different thing to happen when I sit in my chair, and then turn everything off when I leave.

Thank you !

Sofabaton X2 on screen keyboard

Hi, is there any way to access an on screen keyboard to search on YouTube on the Sofabaton X2?

Lack of voice search kind of makes this a must.

Why is FP2 so unreliable for the very high price?

I wanted to give FP2 a try, I like the fact that it allows zones, and when it works it's pretty snappy, but....

Every night I need to run AI learning or the FP2 will just see ghosts the whole night and my lights will stay on.... Every night, if I forget the lights are on in the morning.

Every morning, if the lights are off, they stay off for a few minutes until the device wakes up or something. I spend every morning in the dark, looking for a remote to turn the lights on, because the FP2 is still sleeping and I must not bother it.....

At no point in time does it only see me. I have at least 1 ghost in the room with me always.... I don't have mirrors, I do have some furniture with glass doors, but it's normal for a room to have reflections. It's a presence sensor, I should not have to tape down every reflective surface in order for a very expensive sensor to work.

I tried debugging, support did not answer and it's been a few months. I tried resetting a couple of times. Re-building the room, which is cumbersome, because you need a new room for each sensor position.

Software wise it is so out of date and has not been updated in a long time, if you want to move the sensor from one corner to another, same room same everything, you need to redo the room, there is no way to just move the sensor on the map.

There is no way to set the timers, like sleep timer, wake from sleep timer, active hours, timer until off when leaving room.

I just noticed, there is a furniture door open, and it's seeing it as a person. It's not moving, not breathing, all the adds say it can se the smallest of breaths, but what good is that if the software is not using it.

Overpriced and ignored by Aqara, if it does not get any love, I will not be buying any other Aqara products.

Tuya "Mobile Smart Screen" smart remote compatibility to HA

Hi,

Can anyone give me some information about the smart remote called "Mobile Smart Screen" that works with Tuya/SmartWiz etc?

The hardware seems nice, the remote came with 0 battery, that's never a good sign when it comes to battery life. I was able to add it to HA using the Tuya integration, but I get "unsuported" status from it, and does not reveal any entities.

  1. Is there a way to control a Chromecast TV device using Bluetooth (I have a JMGO N1s SE projector and the built in remote uses bluetooth) ?

  2. Can it be used in HA?

  3. Does it work with non-Tuya smart devices though Zigbee, MQTT, Matter?

If it's a closed sistem, I will be returning it, as it was not cheap, but if there is a way to use it, specially if I can use a keyboard on the screen when I do a search on Chromecast, that would be great.

I did also try the Switchbot remote, turns out it can't do anything without the dock, and I already had some software issues and received 0 support from Switchbot. Will give it a try with the dock to see if it's worth it.

I don't have access on my local shops to Sofabaton, Unfolded Circle or Cantata remotes, and if there is a hardware issue, returning them or servicing them would be really hard.

Any illuminated remotes compatible with JMGO N1s SE?

I do like the portability and quality of N1s SE, the software is a bit slow but I can live with that, what is really painful is that the remote is black and not illuminated, for a device that you are supposed to use in the darkness, this is a miss-step from JMGO. I did find some remotes from JMGO itself, but again, no illumination....
I did try to use a cheap Bluetooth remote, and it works great except when the keyboard shows up, I can't press on he keys for some reason. I wonder why JMGO chose this route because on my Chromecast it works fine.

Can anyone tell me of some portable illuminated remotes compatible with JMGO, basically compatible with Chromecast TV?

Failed to connect to your device

I just received my new Switchbot Universal remote, tried to connect it on Android (Fold 6) I get a green check on the Discover device, but connect device does not work even though I'm in pairing mode. I've seen some tutorials and the pairing documentation, and I should be seeing the Switchbot logo when I press the ON button, but I never got that, it was already ON when I unboxed it and it's showing No device, please add devices via App. It does go to pairing mode when I press ON and OFF at the same time, but I can't connect to Android app. Am I missing something?

JMGO N1S - how do I turn off Ambient screen saver?

I've been going through the settings trying to find a way to turn off Ambient screen saver, because it forces me to some photos I don't want to see, and I have not been able to find it. I already have Projectivity launcher with some reddit anime photos that look very good because of the rich colours, and I set the icons to become transparent, but then the Ambient Screensaver pops up, showing some AI generate bull. I don't see a timer, I don't see an On/Off button, and if I don't select any photos it forces me to.

Has anyone found a way to disable this?

JMGO N1S SE with external battery?

Hi,

Can the JMGO N1S SE be connected to an external battery pack? They say it's portable, but I honestly don't see how a projector can be portable without a battery or USB C.

I have an Anker C300x the Non DC version and I was wondering If I need something with a plug, or if there is any way to use it with a barrel plug like the one that comes with JMGO N1S SE

Xgimi Mogo 4 Laser vs LED

I'm a bit puzzled, I have both models, I have 2 lasers and 1 LED, why does the LED one have clearly more focus and higher luminosity ( the whites on the laser one are yellow-ish, and the text is fuzzy on the whole screen, not on a sigle point or plane)?

It should not be this way! Am I missing something ?

The story story is this: I bought 1 Laser and 1 LED to compare them, and the Laser was out of focus when comparing to LED, i thought it was faulty so I bought another one, but it was the same as the first one.

I'm currently testing them and going back and forward, re-arranging them maybe I missed something, but i always get the same result: Both lasers are fuzzy and out of focus....

Have any other users reported this? Let me know if you need me to add photos/videos, but most phones automatically correct images that are out of focus, so it will be hard to share what i'm seing with my own eyes.

Xgimi Mogo 4 laser Blurry

Hi guys,

I bought Xgimi 4 Led and Laser versions, mind you the laser version was more than 50% more expensive than the led, and there is a major issue: the Laser version is very blurry, it's like so blurry I can barely read from it while the LED one is clear as day. The problem is I've seen others complaining about the same thing. I've tried turning it off and on, and I've just software reset it, but it's still very blurry, not pixelated.

I will post a photo once I'm done with the setup but this is not acceptable. Please tell me if I'm missing something.
